  • Firefox Android Reader Mode
    Firefox android reader mode Continue Image: Firefox Development Firefox Preview, Firefox's restored Android app, is moving smoothly together, and this week one of its best features received a substantial update. Mozilla added browser extension support to Firefox Preview back in February, but you can only install one addition: uBlock Origin. Mozilla's latest test builds for Firefox Preview have added five more add- ons to the mobile browser that can be installed from the app settings, and they're all stunning: Screenshot: Brendan HesseDark Reader - automatically includes a dark mode for (most) websites, even if the page usually doesn't have one. HTTPS Everywhere - Adds HTTPS encryption to websites whenever possible. NoScript - Warns you about potentially dangerous web-page scripts and lets you decide whether they will be running or not. Privacy Badger - Blocks internet trackers hidden on the sites you visit. Image Search - Allows you to select and reverse search for images of any images you find while viewing. These new add-ons are available in the latest version of the developer's Firefox Preview. You can try them early by downloading Nightly Build from Google Play. While Night builds are designed for developers and often suffer from stability issues, downloading it so won't re-write any other version of Firefox Preview you've installed. If something doesn't work, you can just delete the browser and swap back for the more stable version of Firefox Preview you used before. New additions should be available in other versions of the app soon anyway. How to install add-onsInstall Firefox Preview Night Assembly from Google Play Store.
